Description
[0001] HIGH VOLTAGE AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM
[0002] Technical Field of The Invention
[0003] The invention is related to an electrical security system that prevents electrical devices, systems and electrical installations from being exposed to high voltage waves and getting damaged as a result of reasons such as high voltage line faults and lightning strikes, automatically, robotically or in line with user demand, thus ensuring both the continuity of operation of devices and systems and occupational health and safety in businesses operating in the fields of defense, space, aviation, communication, telecommunication and industry.
[0004] Prior Art
[0005] A variety of protection methods are used to protect against the damaging effects of lightning. The main purpose of these methods is to conduct the lightning current to earth in a safe and controlled manner. Therefore, every conductor connected to the ground creates a path for the lightning current to pass through.
[0006] A lightning rod or lightning protector is a long tube / pole made of metal (usually copper) conductor designed to protect a building or structure from possible lightning damage. Lightning rods are consists of a long, pointed tube, a metal plate buried in the ground, and copper conductive wires connecting two devices. The conductive wires can capture static electricity in the air and conduct it safely to the ground. The current, which is safely transferred to the ground through conductive wires, is rendered ineffective by the neutralizing feature of the earth. Lightning tends to strike the sharpest and closest points in the area. For this reason, lightning rods are placed along columns or solid ridges on the structure or object to be protected and connected to the ground with low electrical impedance (less than 10 Q, copper or aluminum) cables. Lightning rods prevents lightning related damage, destruction and especially fire in places that need to be protected such as buildings and elevations. While the collector system can safely absorb 50% of the lightning current transmitted by the lightning rod which takes the lightning discharge and transfers it safely to the ground; the remaining energy damages to electrically powered equipments and systems in microseconds due to equipotential differences within a 2-kilometer radius area. Since, these fast pulses cannot be detected by fuses and relays, they cause permanent damage to electrical equipment. As a result, lightning rods are inadequate to protect sensitive electronic equipment and systems.
[0007] Surge arresters are devices that prevent damage caused by high-voltage surges by discharging overvoltage that occur in power transmission lines to ground. Surges (overvoltage spikes) can be of internal (intallation sources) or external origin. Internal surges are caused by factors such as a generator load removal, a voltage spike at the end of a no-load line, the opening of capacitive circuits (e.g. capacitor), or a short circuit to ground or between phases. The most common cause of external voltage spikes is lightning strike to the phase or ground line. Without effective surge protection against overvoltage, there is a risk to damage to equipments which can lead to costly repairs. Components used in many commercial and industrial sectors are often damaged by overvoltage because they have sensitive electronic circuits. This negatively affects the reliability and sustainably of systems. Surge arresters are protective devices used to protect electrical systems from overvoltage pulses. The normally passive surge arrester, connected in parallel with the system and operates in microseconds. Under normal operating conditions, the surge arrester does not pass current to the ground even if it is connected to the line. However, when overvoltage arrives, the surge arrester conducts very quickly and transmits the overvoltage to the ground. After the overvoltage effect has passed, it returns to normal operation. In normal operation, a surge arrester is an open circuit element. It is commonly used in transformer entrances, main panels, secondary panels, automation and communication lines. The surge arrester is connected to the earthing pit by a conductor. Surge arresters, mostly consisting of zinc oxide varistor groups, are manufactured in the required voltage ranges. However, surge arresters are usually manufactured to withstand voltage values higher than Vpk (voltage at peak VP-P) and RMS. For this reason, they are insufficient to fully protect sensitive systems.
[0008] A Faraday cage is an enclosure coated with electrically conductive metal or meshed with conductive wires thatprotects the interior from external electric fields. This protection can be achieved with any cage covered with conductive wires in the form of a mesh and grounded. The mesh density of conductive wires and proper grounding enhance the protection. External electric fields do not affect the interior of the Faraday cage. Likewise, static electrical discharges, such as lightning strikes, pass over the conductor and do not affect the interior. If the cage is in the form of a mesh, the density of the mesh increases the level of protection; the narrower the mesh, the better the protection. Faraday cages are mainly used for lightning protection. Although it provides better protection against the effects of lightning than a lightning rod, the . Faraday cage also cannot fully protect sensitive electronic systems.
[0009] An earthing pit or earthing pool is a structure with a low resistance value (max 5 ohm for operational earthing and max 3 ohm for protection earthing) specifically prepared to ensure the discharge of structures such as lightning rods, surge arresters and Faraday cages. In places where rock and soil density are low, special materials and chemicals are used to enhance the grounding effect. For this purpose, low-resistance, non-corrosive materials such as GEM (Ground Enhancement Material) powder in the form of carbon powder are preferred. Such materials allow the earting pit to reach the desired resistance level, especially in areas of low conductivity. However, over time, the resistance value of the earth pit may increase. Therefore, earth pits are structures that need to be inspected on a regular basis. Because they are located under the ground, both construction and maintenance are costly.
[0010] In addition, an earth pit alone does not provide protection against the effects of lightning. Its primary function is to act as a discharge point for protective structures such as lightning rods, surge arresters, and Faraday cages.
[0011] In the state of the art lightning protection systems such as lightning rods, surge arresters and Faraday cages can be applied individually or in combination to a building, structure or elevation. Although these protection systems ensure that the structures and equipment to which they are applied are largely protected from the damaging effects of lightning.
[0012] It is recognized that existing protection systems in the current state of the art are insufficient to provide 100% protection especially equipments and systems with sensitive electrical and electronic circuits. For this reason, irreversible damage occurs to many electronic devices and systems in observatories, radar systems, base stations, radio and television transmitters and the tower sections of airports, where lightning discharges occur very frequently at high altitudes under adverse weather conditions
[0013] In the state of the art, patent document CN103915831 A describes a lightning protection module and a device comprising the module. The lightning protection module consists of a varistor (VDR) and a discharge tube. The varistor and the discharge tube are connected in series. In addition, this module contains a thermal fuse, which is connected in series and positioned adjacent to the varistor and discharge tube. When the temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the thermal fuse breaks the circuit, preventing a possible fire hazard. The thermal fuse is designed to allow large currents to pass through. This feature ensures safe operation of the lightning module when the varistor and discharge tube are at normal operating temperatures. If the temperature rises too high, the thermal fuse will break the circuit, ensuring the safety of the system.
[0014] State of the art patent CN105372539A describes a lightning protection remote alarm control system and control method. The system consists of an information gathering unit, a master controller and a server. The information collection unit is used to collect information about the power supply and lightning discharge in the lightning protection device. This collected information is the main data source of the system. The main controller receives the power supply and lightning discharge information from the information acquisition unit. It analyzes this information by comparing it with predetermined alarm values. If the power supply information and lightning discharge information reaches the alarm level, the master controller generates an alarm signal. The server is designed to receive the power, lightning discharge and alarm information transmitted by the master controller. The server transmits this information to the operator's receiving terminal to notify the user in case of an alarm. This structure provides an effective early warning and monitoring system against lightning hazards.
[0015] In the state of the art, the patent document CN106356832A a trigger type compound lightning protector and a lightning protection component are mentioned. The lightning protection component includes a sealed spark gap, a temperature switch, a low voltage discharge module and a self-inductance booster. The temperature switch, low-voltage discharge module, and low-voltage winding of the self-inductance booster are connected in series and grounded to form a low-voltage discharge path. The temperature switch completes the circuit by connecting to the input power supply. The sealed spark gap is connected in parallel to the low-voltage discharge path and forms a high-voltage discharge path. This path runs between the input power supply and ground and the spark gap is equipped with a triggering mechanism. One end of the high voltage winding of the self-inductance booster is connected to the trigger, while the other end is connected to ground. The trigger-type composite lightning protector includes this lightning protection component and a mounting enclosure. The system provides grounding of a three-phase power line through the lightning protector by inserting the lightning protector into the mounting slot. This design provides effective protection by creating both high and low voltage lightning discharge paths.
[0016] Purpose of the Invention
[0017] The main purpose of this invention is to develop a high voltage and lightning protection system which is connected in series with the conductors of the electrical, electronic, control, power supply, communication and control components of the system to be protected in order to prevent damages that may occur due to high voltage and lightning discharge and interrupts the transmission automatically, robotically or by remote access upon user request, while the conductor connections are unloaded until the danger of high voltage and lightning discharge has passed; thus preventing damage to equipments and systems containing sensitive electrical and electronic circuits.
[0018] Another purpose of the invention is to develop a high coltage and tightening protection system that can that can perform high voltage and lightning protection measures automatically, robotically or remotely upon user request in order to ensure occupational health and safety.

[0118] Disclosure Of The Invention
[0119] Figure 1 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the main body (6). As shown in Figure 20, there are two main bodies (6) positioned opposite each other at the two ends of the system subject to the present invention. The main body (6) used in the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures has a regular hexagonal structure. In the four comers of the main body (6) in the regular hexagonal structure shown in Figure 1 , there are main body skeleton part mounting connection points (1 ). The main body skeleton parts (11 ) as shown in Figure 2, on which no fixed contacts are placed, are mounted to these main body skeleton part mounting connection points (1 ). On the other two opposite corners of the main body (6), the main body skeleton parts (11 ) with fixed contact set holders containing fixed contacts (45) are mounted on the main body skeleton parts mounting port with fixed contacts (2). The fixed contacts (45) on the two main body skeleton parts (11 ) mounted on the mounting points of the main body skeleton part mounting port with fixed contacts (2) located at the two opposite comers of the hexagonal main body (6) are held in exactly opposite positions relative to each other.
[0120] In the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, a main body (6) having a regular hexagonal structure is used to enable the main body skeleton parts (11 ) to be easily mounted on the main body (6) at equal intervals with respect to each other and to ensure that the fixed contacts (45) are located in exactly opposite positions with respect to each other in order to maximize the protection performance of the system by mounting the fixed contact set holders containing the fixed contacts (45) on the main body skeleton parts (11 ) located at opposite comers of the main body (6). However, it is also possible within the scope of the invention to use a main body (6) having any geometry that enables the fixed contacts (45) to be positioned on the main body skeleton parts (11 ) in such a way that they are located in exactly opposite positions relative to each other.
[0121] In the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, only two of the main body skeleton parts (11 ) placed at the 6 corners of the main body (6) of a regular hexagonal structure, which are located at opposite corners (2), are mounted with fixed contact set holders containing fixed contacts (45). However, regardless of the shape of the main body used within the scope of the invention, it is possible to assemble at least 2 main body skeleton parts (11 ) and to assemble fixed contact set holders including fixed contacts (45) to at least 2 of the assembled main body skeleton parts (11 ), provided that they are in opposite positions relative to each other. For example, if an octagonal main body (6) and 8 main body skeleton parts (11 ) mounted to this main body are used within the scope of the invention, fixed contact set holders containing fixed contacts (45) can be mounted on 4 of these skeleton parts located at opposite corners in pairs.
[0122] The material from which the main body is made must be insulating. Considering factors such as specific gravity, bending force, vertical resistance to lamination, fracture puncture voltage, high frequency resistance, dimensional stabilization, resistance to friction, flame resistance, volumetric resistance, thermal elongation and insulation strength, it is preferred to use polyethylene material with a voltage resistance of 50kV and above. It is preferred that the screws and pins used in the connection of the parts of the system subject to the present invention are made of polyethylene material in order to create equal potential throughout the system and to prevent static load accumulation.
[0123] Through the drive shaft bearing housing (4) located in the center of the main body (6), the engagement surface of the drive shaft bearing support (42)- : drive shaft bearing - mounting interface to the main body (41 ) shown in Figure 9 is passed and the drive shaft bearing support (42) is mounted to the main body drive shaft bearing mounting port (3). After the drive shaft bearing support (42) is mounted on the hexagonal main body (6), the drive shaft (52) shown in Figure 12 is passed through the bearing (40) in the drive shaft bearing support (42) - drive shaft bearing (40). On the main body side mounting surfaces (5), the outer body with connector slot (28) shown in Figure 6 or the outer body (32) shown in Figure 7 is mounted. Figure 19 shows the outer body (32) mounted on one of the main body side mounting surfaces (5), and Figure 21 shows the outer body with connector slot (28). In the application of the invention shown in the figures, 2 pieces of the outer body with connector slot (28) shown in Figure 6 and 4 pieces of the outer body (32) shown in Figure 7 were used. Within the scope of the invention, no matter how many main body skeleton parts (11 ) are mounted with fixed contact set holders containing fixed contacts (45), the same number of outer bodies with connector slots (28) should be used. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in the figures, since fixed contact set holders containing fixed contacts (45) are mounted on 2 main body skeleton parts (11 ) mounted to the skeleton part mounting ports with fixed contact (2) on the main body, 2 outer bodies with connector slots (28) are also used. For example; within the scope of the invention, if out of 8 main body skeleton parts (11 ) mounted on an octagonal main body (6) within the scope of the invention, fixed contact set holders including fixed contacts (45) are mounted on 4 of them located at opposite comers in pairs, 4 outer bodies with connector slots (28) should be used.
[0124] Figure 2 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the main body skeleton part (11 ). As can be understood from Figure 19, the hexagonal main bodies (6) at the two ends of the system subject to the present invention are connected to each other through the main body skeleton parts (11 ). It is preferred to use polyethylene material in the construction of the main body skeleton part. The main body skeleton part (11 ) is mounted to the hexagonal main body (6) by means of screws made of polyethylene material so that the main body assembly connection point Main body skeleton part - main body mounting port (10) on the main body skeleton part (11 ) coincides with the main body skeleton part mounting connection point (1 ). On the main body skeleton part outer body mounting surface (7) containing the connection points of the main body skeleton part (11 ), the outer body with connector slots (28) or outer body (32) is mounted as shown in Figure 19 and Figure 21 . Each main body skeleton part (11 ) has an outer body mounting surface (7) on two parallel and opposite sides. There are protruding fixed contact set holder mounting ports (9) on the main body skeleton part (11 ) in order to mount the fixed contact set holders shown in Figure 4, on which the fixed contacts are mounted, to the main body skeleton part (11 ) by aligning them. The fixed contact set holders mounted flush between these connection points (Main body skeleton part fixed contact set holder mounting port (9)) are then mounted to the main body skeleton part (11 ) fixed contact set holder fixing pins (8) and screws manufactured using fiber-reinforced pertinax [PFB11 S]. Although in the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the main body skeleton part (11 ) is configured to be disposed on 6 of the fixed contact set holders comprising 5 fixed contacts (45), it is possible to configure the main body skeleton part (11 ) to allow any number of fixed contact set holders to be disposed on it.
[0125] Figure 3 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the cover of the motion system part, which is used to enclose the components of the motion system of the present invention. The motion system cover (12) mates with the outer body (32) or outer body with connector slots (28) on the main body side mounting surface (5) As shown in Figure 19 and Figure 21 , the alignment extension (80) of the motion system cover (12) is threaded into the alignment recess (27) (housing alignment recess with connector slot) of the outer body with connector slot (28) or the outer body alignment recess (31 ) of the outer body (32) on the main body side mounting surface (5). The motion system cover alignment extension (80), which passes into the alignment recess (27 or 31 ), is mounted by fixing it to the main body side mounting surface (5) and the alignment recesses (27 or 31 ) by means of the main body mounting ports (attachment points) (14) and motion system cover fixing pins (78). The covers surrounding the motion system (12) are mounted together at the motion system cover joints (77). In the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, 3 types of motion system covers (12) are used. On the motion system cover (12) shown on the left side in Figure 3, there is a manual control shaft engagement clearance (13) through which the manual control shaft (62) can pass for the use of the manual control lever (60) shown in Figure 15, if required. In the present invention, at least one of the motion system cover (12) having a manual control shaft engagement clearance (13) is used. On the motion system cover (12) shown on the right side in Figure 3, there is at least one access slot (79) to facilitate assembly, disassembly or repair operations by providing manual access to the parts of the motion system. In the present invention, at least one of the motion system cover (12) having an access slot (79) is used. A third type of motion system cover (12) is shown in Figure 19. This type of motion system cover (12) does not have any fitting cavity or access slot.
[0126] Figure 4-( I) shows the top view of the lower part of the fixed contact set holder. Figure 4-( 11 ) shows the side view of the lower part of the fixed contact set holder. The terminal part of the fixed contact (45) - fixed contact terminal (43) shown in Figure 10 is inserted into the fixed contact bearing (18) located at the bottom of the fixed contact set holder. The fixed contact bearing (18) and the fixed contact terminal part (43) have the same geometry. Figure 4-(l 11) shows the upper part of the fixed contact set holder. The upper part of the fixed contact set holder shown in Figure 4-(l 11) is closed over the lower part of the fixed contact set holder shown in Figure 4-(l) and the upper and lower parts of the fixed contact set holder are mounted to each other by means of fixing pins - fixed contact set holder fixing pins(16), preferably made of pertinax, and thus a fixed contact set holder having a cassette structure in which the fixed contact terminals in series are held together is obtained. The fixed contact contact pressing surfaces (19) in the upper part of the fixed contact set holder exert pressure uniformly along the terminal surface on the fixed contact terminals (43) placed in the fixed contact bearings (18) in the lower part of the fixed contact set holder.
[0127] The fixed contact set holders are placed side by side in series and in the same alignment between the fixed contact set holder mounting ports (9) on the main body skeleton part (11 ) shown in Figure 2 in such a way that the fixed contact set holder joining pieces (17) are in contact with each other. The fixed contact set holders arranged side by side are fixed to each other by means of the fixed contact set holder locking connections (15) on the joining piece (17). The fixed contact set holders fixed to each other are mounted to the main body skeleton part (11 ) fixed contact set holder mounting ports(9) and fixed contact set holder fixing pins (8). on the main body skeleton part (11 Thanks to the joining piece (17), fixed contact set holder locking connections (15) and fixed contact set holder fixing pins (16) included in the fixed contact set holder, when the contacts need to be changed during assembly or for any reason, alignment, bringing to the same axis, etc. operations can be performed without the need for any measurement. This structure of the fixed contact set holder provides ease of installation and replacement for fixed contacts and saves time.
[0128] Specific gravity, bending strength, vertical resistance to lamination, fracture puncture voltage, resistance to friction, flame resistance, volumetric resistance, thermal elongation, insulation strength, high frequency resistance and especially dimensional stability are taken into account in the selection of the material to be used in the production of the fixed contact set holder. In this respect, it is preferred to manufacture the fixed contact set holder using fiber-doped pertinax [PFB11 S].
[0129] Although in the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, the fixed contact set holder is configured to include 5 fixed contacts (45), it is possible to configure the modular fixed contact set holder to include any desired number of fixed contacts (45) within the scope of the invention.
[0130] Figure 5-(l) shows the top view of the lower part of the movable contact set holder. Figure 5-(l I) shows the side view of the lower part of the movable contact set holder. The terminal part of the moving contact (48) - moving contact terminal (47) shown in Figure 11 is inserted into the moving contact bearing (22) located at the bottom of the moving contact set holder. The moving contact bearing (22) and the moving contact terminal part (47) have the same geometry. Figure 5-(l 11) shows the upper part of the movable contact set holder. The upper part of the movable contact set holder shown in Figure 5-(l 11) is closed over the lower part of the movable contact set holder shown in Figure 5-(l). The upper and lower parts of the movable contact set holder are mounted to each other by means of fixing pins - moving contact set holder fixing pins (20), preferably made of pertinax, and thus a movable contact set holder having a cassette structure in which the movable contact terminals in series are held together is obtained. The use of moving contact set holder fixing pins (20) saves time with ease of replacement when the movable contacts need to be replaced for any reason. The moving contact pressing surfaces (21 ) at the top of the movable contact set holder apply pressure evenly along the terminal surface on the moving contact terminals (47) placed in the moving contact bearings (22) at the bottom of the movable contact set holder. The distance between the contacts in the movable contact set holders is made according to the voltage jump distance. In order to prevent the contact terminals from being affected by external electromagnetic waves or interference, there are braided conductors between the movable contact set holders.
[0131] Specific gravity, bending strength, vertical resistance to lamination, fracture puncture voltage, resistance to friction, flame resistance, volumetric resistance, thermal elongation, insulation strength, high frequency resistance and especially dimensional stability are taken into account when selecting the material to be used in the production of the movable contact set holder. In this respect, it is preferred to manufacture the movable contact set holder using fiber-doped pertinax [PFB11 S].
[0132] Although in the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, the movable contact set holder is configured to include 5 moving contacts (48), it is possible to configure the modular movable contact set holder to include any desired number of moving contacts (48) within the scope of the invention.
[0133] Figure 6 shows the isometric perspective drawing of the outer body with connector slot (28). This outer body is made of polyethylene material. As shown in Figure 21 , the outer body with connector slot (28) is mounted to the main body side mounting surface (5) of the main body (6) and the main body skeleton part - outer body mounting surface (7) of the main body skeleton part (11 ) using housing mounting ports with connector slots (23). In this application, since a hexagonal main body (6) is used, the outer body with connector slot (28) is structured at a 60-degree inclined angle at the outer body joint (26) with the outer body (32) shown in Figure 7. This ensures that no gap remains between the outer body with connector slot (28) and the outer body (32), and the components are protected from the external environment. If a main body with a different geometric shape is used, the outer body with connector slot must be made to match the shape of the main body. In the invention, two outer body with connector slot (28) parts are placed opposite each other. The number of outer body with connector slot (28) parts used in the invention should be equal to the number of main body skeleton part (11 ) parts on which the fixed contact set holders carrying the fixed contacts (45) are mounted. As shown in Figure 21 , the housing alignment recess (27) on the outer body with connector slot (28) aligns with the motion system cover (12) on the same axis (80) on the main body side mounting surface (5) of the main body (6). This alignment is achieved using pins made of polyethylene material. The outer body with connector slot (28) contains connector slots (25), into which the necessary connector cassettes (such as USB Type B connector cassette (64), D-Sub connector cassette (65), T Plug connector cassette (66), etc.), shown in Figure 16, are placed, and these cassettes are mounted onto the outer body with connector slot (28) via the connector cassette mounting port (24).
[0134] Figure 7 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the outer body. The outer body (32) is used to enclose the area between the two main bodies in a sheltered manner in order to protect the components of the system subject to the present invention between the two main bodies (6) from the external environment. The outer body (32) is mounted to the main body side mounting surface (5) of the hexagonal main body (6) and to the outer body mounting surface (7) of the main body skeleton part (11 ) by means of outer body mounting ports (29) extending transversely and longitudinally on the outer body (32). Since a hexagonal main body (6) is used in the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, in order to be compatible with a main body of this structure, the junction of an outer body (32) with another outer body (32) or an outer body with a connector slot (28), as in the outer body with a connector slot (28), is also inclined at an angle of 60 degrees. Thus, by joining the outer bodies (32) and the outer bodies with connector slots (28) without any gap between them, the components of the system subject to the present invention positioned between the two main bodies (6) are surrounded and the components are protected from the external environment. In the case of a main body having a different geometrical shape, the junction of an outer body (32) with another outer body (32) or an outer body with a connector slot (28) should be configured to be inclined at an angle that is compatible with the geometrical shape of the main body. As shown in Figure 19, the outer body alignment recess (31 ) and the alignment extension (80) of the motiont system cover (12) meet on the main body side mounting surface (5) of the hexagonal main body (6). The outer body alignment recess (31 ) and the alignment extension (80) of the motion system cover (12) are fixed to each other by means of pins, preferably made of polyethylene material, in the outer body alignment recess (31 ).
[0135] On the outer body (32) there is an earth bar mounting port (30). The ground bus is the end point of the open state of the moving contacts. When the moving contacts (48) reach the limit of the open state, the ground bus short-circuits all contacts and prevents the passage of high voltage exceeding the safe jump distance between the fixed contacts (45). Thanks to the earthing bus, all of the contacts are short-circuited between their groups, thus preventing high voltage and lightning discharges from reaching the system or device protected by the lightning protection system according to the present invention.
[0136] Figure 8 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the movable contact set holder mounting block. The movable contact set holder mounting block, preferably manufactured using polyethylene material, is used for positioning the movable contact set holders including moving contacts (48) in alignment on the drive shaft (52) shown in Figure 12. The movable contact set holders containing the moving contacts (48) are inserted one by one in alignment between the fixing pins - moving contact set holder fixing pin (34) on the moving contact set holder mounting part (37) on the mounting block. The movable contact set holders aligned on the mounting part (37) are fixed to the moving contact set holder mounting part (37) of the mounting block by means of locking connections - moving contact set holder locking connection (33) and moving contact set holder fixing pins (34). Thanks to the moving contact set holder mounting part (37) of the mounting block, the movable contact set holders are mounted in the same axis on the mounting block. Thus, it is ensured that the moving contacts (48) and the fixed contacts (45) are at the same point with micrometer precision after each opening and closing.
[0137] Within the scope of the invention, if fixed contact set holders containing fixed contacts (45) are mounted on how many main body skeleton parts (11 ), the same number of movable contact set holder mounting blocks should be used to mutually match these main body skeleton parts (11 ). In the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, fixed contact set holders comprising fixed contacts (45) are mounted on 2 main body skeleton parts (11 ) which are mutually mounted to the main body fixed contact skeleton part mounting ports (2). For this reason, 2 movable contact set holder mounting blocks are also used to mate with these main body skeleton parts (11 ). The number of fixed contact set holders on the main body skeleton parts (11 ) and the number of fixed contacts (45) evenly spaced on these fixed contact set holders is equal to the number of movable contact set holders on the movable contact set holder mounting block and the number of moving contacts (48) evenly spaced on these movable contact set holders. Thus, the fixed contacts (45) and the moving contacts (48) are matched one by one and contact each other at the contact points. As shown in Figure 20, 2 drive shaft moving contact set holder mounting blocks mounting surface (50) of the movable contact set holder mounting block on the drive shaft (52) so that they are parallel to each other and to the fixed contact terminal parts (43) on the main body skeleton parts (11 ) with an angle of 180 degrees between them. During assembly, the connection points on the movable contact set holder mounting block - drive shaft mounting port (36) and the connection points on the mounting surface (50) of the drive shaft (52) ( Drive shaft - moving contact set holder mounting block mounting surface (50)) are matched and fixed to each other by means of fasteners.
[0138] Within the scope of the invention, for example, if an octagonal main body (6) is used and fixed contact set holders containing fixed contacts (45) are mounted on a total of 4 of the 8 main body skeleton parts (11 ) mounted on the main body, located at opposite comers in pairs, 4 movable contact set holder mounting blocks should be used to match these main body skeleton parts (11 ). These movable contact set holder mounting blocks are mounted in pairs on the fixed contact terminal parts (43) on the main body frame parts located at opposite comers and on the drive shaft moving contact set holder mounting block mounting surface (50), parallel to each other and at an angle of 180 degrees between them. The number of fixed contacts (45) evenly spaced on each main body skeleton part (11 ) and the number of moving contacts (48) evenly spaced on the movable contact set holder-mounting block. Fixed contacts (45) and moving contacts (48) are at the same location within micrometer precision after each opening and closing.
[0139] Although in the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, the movable contact set holder mounting block is configured to be disposed on 6 of the movable contact set holders comprising 5 moving contacts (48), it is possible to configure the movable contact set holder mounting block to allow the movable contact set holder to be disposed on any number of movable contact set holders. However, the moving contacts (48) in the movable contact set holders placed on the movable contact set holder mounting block and the fixed contacts (45) in the fixed contact set holders placed on the main body skeleton parts (11 ) must be arranged in the same number and at equal intervals in such a way that they come into contact with each other one by one. The control gap (35) on the movable contact set holder mounting block allow the moving contacts (48) to be observed after the movable contact set holders are mounted on the mounting block and are also used to pass the transmission cables connecting the two moving contacts (48).
[0140] Figure 9 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the drive shaft bearing support (42). The mounting interface to the main body (41 ) of the driveshaft bearing support (42) - drive shaft bearing - mating surface to the main body passes through the main body driveshaft bearing housing (4). The driveshaft bearing support (42) is mounted by fixing it to the main body (6) in such a way that the main body mounting ports (38) on the driveshaft bearing support (42) passed through the main body driveshaft bearing housing (4) and the main body driveshaft bearing mounting port (3) on the main body (6) match. There is a drive shaft bearing (40) on the inside of the engagement surface of the drive shaft bearing support (42) to the main body (6) drive shaft bearing - mounting interface to the main body (41 ). The drive shaft (52) passes through the drive shaft bearing (40). As the drive shaft (52) passes through the drive shaft bearing (40), it is ensured that the drive shaft (52) makes rotational movement / motion without friction between the drive shaft (52) and the main body skeleton part (6). The motion limiting part (49) of the drive shaft (52), which passes through the drive shaft bearing (40) in the drive shaft bearing support (42), exits to the outer side of the main body (6). A driveshaft bearing cover is used to cover the motion limiting part (49) of the driveshaft (52) and this cover is mounted on the cover mounting ports - drive shaft bearing cover mounting port (39) on the driveshaft bearing support (42).
[0141] Figure 10 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the fixed contact (45). Blister copper, copper and zinc mixture, copper and nickel and zinc mixture strips may be used in the fixed contact terminal part (43)). The coating material to be used for coating the surface of the fixed contact terminal (43) varies according to the frequency, energy and current values used in the systems to which the lightning protection system subject to the present invention will be connected. For example; for the surface of the fixed contact terminal (43) that will transmit at high frequencies, electroless gold [AU] plating is used by electrolysis method on electroless nickel plating, while at low frequencies, coating the surface of the fixed contact terminal (43) with tin [Sn] or German silver [CuNiZn] prevents electromagnetic wave interference (EMI) between the terminals. The coating on the surface of the terminal (43) increases the corrosion resistance of the terminal.
[0142] For minimum resistance and maximum strength on the fixed contact terminal (43), the fixed contact surface (44) fixed to the fixed contact terminal (43) using press and welding at the same time is selected according to the required current and contact surface feature in the solid contact DIN [Deutsches Institut fur Normung] Norms. Solid contacts are alloyed in material. Cu, Ag, AgNi, AgNi [80 / 20], AgNi [85 / 15], AgNi [90 / 10], AgCdO [85 / 15], AgCdO [90 / 10], AgZnO [90 / 10], AgZnO [92 / 8], AgSnO2 [88 / 12], AgSnO2 [90 / 10] can be selected as solid contact material. In addition to the conductivity properties, the compatibility with the terminal part is also important in the selection of solid contacts.
[0143] The fixed contact surface (44) that contacts the moving contact surface (46) during the contact between the fixed contacts (45) and the moving contacts (48) differs from the moving contact surface (46) in terms of geometrical structure. While the fixed contact surface (44) has a flat form, the moving contact surface (46) has a convex form. One end of the conductor suitable for the conductor properties used in the systems to which the lightning protection system subject to the present invention will be connected is connected to the fixed contact terminal (43) by pressing and soldering, and the other end of the conductor is connected to the relevant pin of the connector.
[0144] Figure 11 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the moving contact (48). The moving contact (48) has an elastic structure. Blister copper, copper and zinc, copper and nickel and zinc mixed strips with elastic conductive structure can be used to make the movable contact 48 elastic. In order to ensure that the fixed contacts (45) and the moving contacts (48) fully contact each other and to prevent the formation of resistance between the contacts during contact, pressure is applied to the moving contacts (48) by the drive shaft (52). When the pressure applied to the moving contacts (48) is removed (when the movable contacts are in the open position), they return to their previous form thanks to their elastic structure. The coating material to be used for coating the surface of the moving contact terminal (47) varies according to the frequency, energy and current values used in the systems to which the lightning protection system subject to the present invention will be connected. For example; for the surface of the moving contact terminal (47) that will transmit at high frequencies, electroless nickel plating with electroless gold [AU] plating is used, while at low frequencies, plating the surface of the moving contact terminal (47) with tin [Sn] or German silver [CuNiZn] prevents electromagnetic wave interference (Electromagnetic interference - EMI) between the terminals. The coating on the moving contact terminal surface (47) increases the corrosion resistance of the terminal.
[0145] Coaxial cables with high frequency transmission characteristics are connected to the moving contact terminals (47) by pressing and soldering. The conductors that will act as conductors between the moving contact terminal (47) parts of the moving contacts are selected by taking into account the characteristics such as shimmed / unshimmed, twisted, AWG, high frequency, ohms, etc.
[0146] The moving contact surface (46) fixed to the moving contact terminal (47) by using press and welding at the same time for minimum resistance and maximum strength on the moving contact terminal (47) is selected according to the current and contact surface characteristics required in the solid contact DIN [Deutsches Institut fur Normung] Norms. Solid contacts are alloyed in material. Cu, Ag, AgNi, AgNi [80 / 20], AgNi [85 / 15], AgNi [90 / 10], AgCdO [85 / 15], AgCdO [90 / 10], AgZnO [90 / 10], AgZnO [92 / 8], AgSnO2 [88 / 12], AgSnO2 [90 / 10] can be selected as solid contact material. In addition to conductivity properties, compatibility with the terminal is also important in the selection of solid contacts.
[0147] The moving contact surface (46) which contacts the fixed contact surface (44) during the contact between the fixed contacts (45) and the moving contacts (48) has a convex form. In this respect, the moving contact surface (46) differs in geometrical structure from the fixed contact surface (44) in a flat form.
[0148] The components of the motion system used in the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures to provide rotational movement / motion within certain limits to the movable contact set holder mounting block in which the movable contact set holders including moving contacts (48) are the drive shaft (52) shown in Figure 12, the motor (55) shown in Figure 13, the gearbox (58) shown in Figure 14, the motion control part (72) shown in Figure 17 and the motion control system mechanical coupler (76) shown in Figure 18. Within the scope of the present invention, it is also possible to use motion systems comprising other parts that can fulfill the function of providing rotational movement / motion to the system. Figure 12 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the drive shaft (52). The motion control part (51 ) of the drive shaft (52) passes through gearbox- the drive shaft mounting part (56) of the gearbox (58) shown in Figure 14. The rotary motion generated by the motor (55) mounted on the gearbox-motor mounting part (57) of the gearbox (58) is thus transmitted to the drive shaft (52). The main purpose of providing rotational movement / motion to the system is to move the moving contact set holder block, which carries the moving contacts (48), and thus the moving contacts (48). The drive shaft (52) is provided with a drive shaft - moving contact set holder mounting block mounting surface (50) and screw holes on which the movable contact set holder mounting block is mounted. The drice shaft moving contact set holder mounting block mounting surface (50) so that the moving contacts (48) on the movable contact set holder mounting block are exactly parallel to the fixed contacts (45) on the main body skeleton part (11 ). Thus, with the rotational movement / motion of the drive shaft (52), the movable contact set holder mounting block and moving contacts (48) on it are moved. The drive shaft - motion limiting part (49) in the form of an extension at one end of the drive shaft (52) ensures that the rotational movement / motion of the drive shaft (52) is limited within certain limits. It is preferred that the drive shaft (52) is made of low alloy steel.
[0149] Figure 13 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the drive system power motor. The motor (55) is mounted on the gearbox-motor mounting part (57) of the gearbox (58) shown in Figure 14 by means of the connection points on the motor mounting foot (54). The motor (55) transfers power to the gearbox (58) via the coupling (53). It is preferred to use a stepper motor in the system subject to the present invention. Because, thanks to the feature of locking the rotor of the stepper motor, it is ensured that the moving contacts (48) held at a certain pressure remain fixed during contact with the fixed contacts (45).
[0150] Figure 14 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the power transmission system (gearbox). The drive shaft (52) passes through the gearbox drive shaft mounting part (56) of the gearbox (58). The rotational motion generated by the motor (55) mounted on the gearbox-motor mounting part (57) of the gearbox (58) is transferred to the drive shaft (52) by the gearbox (58). In the system subject to the present invention, it is preferred to use a gearbox (58) at a ratio of 1 / 40 in order to gain precision in power transmission. Thus, a rotational precision of approximately 0.05 degrees will be provided on the drive shaft (52) connected to the gearbox (58) from the gearbox-drive shaft mounting part (56).
[0151] Figure 15 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the manual control lever and shaft. When a problem occurs in the power motor (55) of the motion system, the system subject to the present invention can be controlled by the manual control lever (60). As shown in Figure 21 , the manual control shaft (62) is inserted on the gearbox (58) by passing the manual control shaft (62) through the manual control shaft engagement clearance (13) of the motion system cover (12). The shaft connection (63) on the manual control shaft (62) - manual control shaft connection (63) is inserted into the shaft slot (61 ) in the manual control lever (60) - manual control lever shaft slot (61 ) positioned so that it coincides with the manual control shaft engagement clearance (13) of the motion system cover (12). After the connection of the manual control lever (60) and the manual control shaft (62) is ensured, the manual control lever (60) is rotated by means of the manual control lever handle part (59) to create rotational movement / motion in the system.
[0152] Figure 16 shows a cross-sectional drawing of the connector cassettes. USB Type B (64), D-Sub (65), T Plug (66), De (67), Db50 (68) and Mayk (69) connector cassettes are inserted into the connector slots (25) on the outer body with connector slots (28). The lightning protection system subject to the present invention is connected in series to the transmission cables of the system to be protected. In order not to interfere with the cables belonging to the system, a cabling with male and female connectors in the specifications of the cable used in the system to be protected is made. While one connector of the new cabling is attached to the connector cassettes on the high voltage lightning protection system subject to the present invention, the other connector is attached to the connector of the system to be protected. In order to make it possible to integrate different types of connectors available in the market into the system subject to the present invention, the compatibility of the system subject to the invention with the connectors available in the market is ensured thanks to the connector cassettes (64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69) formed in different geometric shapes. Furthermore, in the present inventive system, electromagnetic interference signals are prevented by using braided conductors between the cables and contacts. In the present invention, a motion limiting mechanism is used to limit the movement / motion of the drive shaft (52) to ensure that the rotational movement / motion of the drive shaft (52) is within certain limits. This mechanism comprises a motion control part (72) and a motion control system mechanical coupler (76). Although in the embodiment of the present invention shown in the Figures, said parts (72, 76) are used, it is also possible within the scope of the invention to use motion limiting mechanisms comprising other parts that can fulfill the function of limiting the movement of the drive shaft (52) within certain limits.
[0153] Figure 17 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the motion control part (72). The motion control part (72) is fixed to the motion control part mounting port (74) on the motion control system mechanical coupler (76) shown in Figure 18. The motion control part (72) is provided with a sensor housing (70) for a magnetic limit sensor and a sensor limit adjustment part (71 ) for adjusting the sensor according to the pressure applied on the moving contacts (48). Figure 20 shows the motion control part (72) mounted on the mechanical coupler (76).
[0154] Figure 18 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the motion control system mechanical coupler (76). As shown in Figure 20, the drive shaft motion control part (51 ) passes through the motion shaft rotation gap (75) located in the center of the motion control system mechanical coupler (76). The motion control part (72) is mounted to the motion control part mounting ports (74) on the motion control system mechanical coupler (76). There is also a limit switch holder (73) on the motion control system mechanical coupler (76) to which a limit switch used for motion control can be attached. In the present invention, the limit switch is used to define the movement limit of the drive shaft (52), which senses and operates the physical force applied to it by an object and is used to define the movement limit of the object.
[0155] Figure 19 and Figure 21 show isometric perspective drawings of the high voltage and lightning protection system of the present invention from different angles. Figure 20 shows an isometric perspective drawing of the contact components between the two main bodies (6) of the system subject to the present invention. The placement of all parts of the invention shown in Figure 1 to Figure 18 within the inventive system can be understood from Figure 19, Figure 20 and Figure 21. The high voltage and lightning protection system subject to the present invention is a remotely controlled system. The assembly and disassembly of the system to the system or device to be protected is easy and practical and does not require special training. To control the system, a microcontroller chip and control card are used in the control unit and GNU / Linux operating system is used as the operating system. The system in question is controlled by software that allows it to operate automatically or robotically or according to user demand. Each command sent to the system and its realization status is read and recorded as feedback. Parameters such as stepper motor rotation direction and speed [ccw / cv], magnetic hall sensor, micro switch, emergency stop, temperature, humidity, contact pressure value, UPS voltage values can be given as examples as feedback. It is possible to record the number of high voltage and lightning strikes in a certain period of time by means of an external counter installed in the system. An external UPS can be connected to the system to ensure uninterrupted energy supply of the system . In case of an interruption in the energy supply, the internal supply source is activated online. Thus, the system to be protected is de-energized, the contacts are opened, and the system is protected. Furthermore, it is preferred to use a contactor for switching on and off the energy of the system or device protected by the lightning protection system of the present invention. The contactor is an electrically controlled electrical switch used to switch the electrical power circuit in the protected system or device. With the system subject to the present invention, the protected system or device is brought to a no-load state thanks to the contactor. The contactor, which can be remotely controlled in case of need, serves to cut off or supply the energy supply of the protected system or device.
[0156] Industrial Application of The Invention
[0157] The high voltage and lightning protection system subject to the invention is connected in series to the conductors of the electrical, electronic, control, power supply, communication and control components of the systems or devices to be protected against damage that may occur due to high voltage and lightning discharges.
